Overview

About this bike

WHETHER YOU’RE IN IT FOR THE LOVE OF THE CLIMB, THE RUSH OF THE DESCENT, OR THE NEXT PR, THE LANGMA ADVANCED DISC IS READY WITH ITS RE-ENGINEERED LIGHTWEIGHT AERO FRAME AND ALL-NEW GIANT SLR 36 DISC WHEEL SYSTEM (SELECT MODELS) WITH INTEGRATED DISC BRAKES, PLUS CUSTOM LIV SADDLE AND HANDLEBARS FOR POWERFUL FIT AND PERFORMANCE. KEY PERFORMANCE FACTORS Accelerate faster The heart of the Langma Advanced is a super-light Advanced-Grade Composite frameset, delivering a powerful stiffness-to-weight ratio for explosive acceleration. Updated truncated ellipse tubing reduces wind drag and boosts sprinting efficiency. Better handling Integrated, flat-mount disc brakes deliver the confidence to carry speed into corners and navigate variable weather conditions. The Langma also accommodates tires up to 32mm, so you can customize your set-up for the road ahead. Vibration canceling The tubeless Giant SLR 36 Disc WheelSystem (select models) reduces drag, while the adjustable Variant Composite Seatpost provides superior compliance, so you get a responsive ride that practically skims over rough roads. TECHS & FEATURES: ADVANCED COMPOSITE TECHNOLOGY Liv’s High-Performance Grade raw carbon material is used to produce this frameset in our own composite factory. Using state-of-the-art materials and manufacturing techniques, Liv’s Advanced-Grade Composite frames are designed to offer lightweight and stiffness with optimal compliance. COMPACT ROAD DESIGN When introduced by Giant in the 1990s, Compact Road revolutionized the look and feel of high-performance road bikes forever. A downward-sloping toptube (from the headtube to the seattube) creates smaller front and rear triangles for a lighter, stiffer bike. It also makes it easier for riders of all sizes to have a perfect fit. INTERNAL SEATPOST CLAMP A lightweight, all-internal seatpost locking mechanism provides confident clamping force with clean performance and aesthetics. OVERDRIVE Designed to provide precise front-end steering performance, this fork steerer tube technology uses oversized headset bearings (1 1/4" lower and 1 1/8" upper for road, 1 1/2" lower and 1 1/8" upper for mountain) and tapered steerer tube work in conjunction to provide optimal steering stiffness. POWERCORE A massively oversized bottom-bracket/chainstay area features a fully integrated, 86-millimeter wide bottom-bracket design (92-millimeter wide for off-road bikes). Asymmetric chainstays provide additional stiffness on the drive side and stability on the non-drive side. VARIANT SEATPOST This proprietary seatpost design optimizes the balance between a lightweight and superior ride quality, with simple adjustment to enhance the total race performance of the Langma road range. TUBELESS SYSTEM Fewer flat tires. Greater traction. Less rolling resistance and a smoother, faster ride. Giant’s Tubeless System makes it easier than ever to experience all these benefits. MEGADRIVE A massive rectangular downtube and oversized toptube work in unison to provide superior front-end lateral and torsional steering precision. The precisely engineered, rectangular shaped downtube yields unprecedented steering and pedaling stiffness.
